Medical romance has never been this scorching.

Get ready for the doctor who's about to discover that sometimes the best diagnoses come from the heart, not the textbook.

Dev Shaw has spent years perfecting his routine—saving kids by day, fighting fires by night, and keeping his feelings for his best friend locked away. But when trauma surgeon Sophia Li shows up at his door with tears in her eyes and nowhere else to go, everything changes.

Sophia's here to heal from a toxic relationship, not fall for the protective pediatrician who's been her rock for years. But there's something about the way Dev looks at her—like she's worth fighting for—that has her pulse racing.

He's all careful control and unspoken devotion. She's all brilliant ambition and hidden vulnerability.

He thinks she deserves better than a friend who's been lying about his feelings.

She thinks she's too broken to deserve the kind of love he's offering.

When a devastating wildfire threatens their town and Sophia's ex shows up demanding what he can't have, Dev's carefully maintained boundaries start crumbling. But can two doctors who've spent years diagnosing everyone else's problems finally admit their own hearts need healing?

Perfect for readers who love:

• Medical romance with real emotional stakes
• Friends-to-lovers slow burn that explodes
• Firefighter heroes who save lives in scrubs and turnout gear
• Strong heroines finding their worth
• Forced proximity and "there's only one bed"
• Station 9 brotherhood ready to play matchmaker
• Hospital drama meets small-town heat

Warning: Contains one devoted doctor-firefighter, a brilliant surgeon who doesn't know her worth, and enough steam to fog up your reading glasses. Side effects may include: sudden appreciation for pediatricians, overwhelming urge to visit your local fire station, and the desperate need to grab your best friend and confess everything.

Read with One-Click Now to feel the heat!

Can be read as a standalone, but why stop at one Station Nine hero when they're all so freakin' hot?
